(first reading) Obsolete words had been deleted and revisions had been
made. It was back on agenda for first reading.
Mikels questioned as to who had the authority for traffic
signals, the City Engineer or the City Council. Mikels
expressed he felt it should be the authority of the
Council to authorize traffic control devices. Discussion
followed regarding this issue.
Mikels moved that the City Council approve signalization
of intersections on a case-by-case basis on a priority
list. For lack of a second the motion failed.
Discussion continued further regarding authority for
traffic signals. Hubbs said that all capital improvements
should have public input and a priority system should be
established for such improvements. Council felt this

AGREEMENT FOR An agreement for traffic engineering services with
TRAFFIC ENG. the County Traffic Division to provide traffic

of two purchase orders in the amount of $5,000 each to
be issued in the first year of the agreement. The second
purchase order would be used only if needed. Additional
services would require prior approval of the Council.
Council and Mr. Don Baer questioned if alternative

separate $5,000 purchase orders and approval of the
contract. Motion unanimously carried.
